This box just came from Getty Designs with my CF lids....
So, here's the deal... It's pretty cold here and my garage isn't heated... My 914 is in dis-assembly stage and I will not be using these for a while The BOSS doesn't know I ordered these....(it's a forgiveness/permission thing) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Wow...quite a range of replies...
The situation is true....but not serious. My better half doesn't really care what I do with my hobbies..... On our first date we picked a car up from the body shop... Since we've been together I have raced for fifteen years and was also a Crew Chief for a Firehawk Endurance Team or three.... 18 years of marraige 6 Porsches, a dozen race cars, and too many other cars to count have come and gone but, She is still with me....My wife must have known what she was getting when she took me. So...I unpackaged the lids and mocked them up on the car. Since they were going to be painted they are primed (by getty)on top and opaque underneath. I'm okay with that as it was no surprise. To be honest, I'm not thrilled with these. Yes, they are light! The rear fits "okay" but, has a gouge in the middle...not to worry easily repaired....but the front hood... Yeeeeeucccch. The edges are all rough (and not straight), there is an open bubble void in the gel, the fit is horrible with about 3/4" total gap to account for and i'm concerned that the curvature is incorrect and might not line up with the light covers and bumper top....but I'll have to wait a while to be at that stage. I know it was (relatively) cheap, but I hope it was not a prototype sitting around the shop. At the moment I'm not sure just how I'll fix it. |
